This is our first visit to Turkey with my wife and 8 year old son. Impressions about the hotel - generally positive. We booked a room back in February from Coral.
The hotel is located half an hour drive from Antalya Airport. It has a small but very cozy green area and its own sandy beach, two swimming pools with slides.
We arrived at the hotel early in the morning (about 9 a. m. local time), we were put on holiday bracelets (bracelets are a strong word, they are really made of paper - they changed 2 times in 13 nights of rest, as they were unstuck) and sent for breakfast. Since the settlement was promised no later than 14:00, after breakfast we went to the beach (at the reception they issued 3 plastic cards, which we exchanged for beach towels in the spa on the ground floor, where we took a shower and changed clothes). We were warned about towels that the replacement was paid, but we had enough without replacement until the end of the trip, although the salt was already becoming harsh.
Closer to 2 pm, I went to the reception and asked if the check-in would be soon, since all the guests who arrived after us had already been settled. It turned out that the room was ready a little earlier, but they could not find us because we were swimming. The porter helped us to carry our things to the room, he also told us how to use the key card, light, air conditioning, etc. , for which he received a couple of dollars.
Room 1502 is located on the 5th floor, 15 steps from the elevator, the balcony overlooks the main entrance of the hotel, so at night it was interesting to watch the departing / arriving guests, smoke cigarillos and meet the dawn. There are two plastic chairs and a plywood table on the balcony, a clothes hanger on the wall. The room had one double bed and one single bed for my son. There is a TV with 3 Russian channels, a minibar with juice (hell peach juice with water), mineral water and lemonade - replenished daily. In the bathroom there are two wash towels and three bath towels (normal, not torn), there are NO tubes of gels / shampoos / lotions, keep this in mind. There is no bathroom, instead of it there is a pallet (with low sides, because of this, the floor was almost constantly wet) with a curtain and a shower. There were no complaints about the work of plumbing, always hot water with good pressure. The floor is like linoleum, the air conditioner is mechanically controlled, the room is very comfortable. Balcony with glass sides, I really liked it.
Meals (the buffet left only positive emotions, however, there is no air conditioning in the restaurant - it’s very hot. The meat dishes were mainly chicken, turkey, fish (all this in stew and on the grill, very tasty), times 3 gave beef. Fruits were watermelons, grapes, nectarines, plums. From hot: mashed soups, omelettes, french fries, spaghetti, vegetable stews, etc. Lots of pastries and sweets (for lunch and dinner), sausages and cheese slices of several types. Coffee from vending machines is very good, but the juices are liquid. For dinner on the table we were met (or we ourselves asked) for a bottle of wine (we drank only red), who wanted to - could also drink it at lunch. Lobby bar worked from 10 o'clock, offered beer (tasty, but sad), gin, vodka and some other drink, I don't know Plus syrups, lemonades for cocktails (cola, sprite, fanta) Was a frequent customer there, thanks to the bartenders! the bar (where there is a performance area) was not particularly visited, they usually took only beer for themselves and lemonade for the child, very kusny ayran with salt. It also works from 10 o'clock. Vegetable cuts, pastries like pies and similar snacks for a snack are offered. Near the bars in the refrigerators there was always drinking water in sealed cups, which is very convenient. From 15:30 to 16:00 handed out delicious ice cream. At the entrance of the hotel in the kiosk there is also ice cream from $1.
Reception service is quite good. There were no special questions. Cleaning the room for a C grade - they twisted swans from towels a couple of times, but they didn’t want to deal with sand at the door and dust under the chairs. Bed linen was changed 1 time, towels 3 times (maybe less, we used only two) . The waiters and bartenders are nimble, for which we thank them.
The hotel area is quite small, but very cozy, there were always places to sit at a table in the shade. Wet tile paths can be very slippery, so be careful! On the territory there is a large gazebo (for yoga, darts or just to sit), two small pools and two water slides, on the beach there is a place to play volleyball.
I really liked the beach, although not as wide as indicated in the description of the hotel. The width from the sun loungers to the water is 15 meters, and the length (available for swimming, because there is a rental of motorized entertainment and a rocky pier nearby) is no more than 70 meters. The entrance to the water is sandy, but there are stones at a depth (they took corrals for such a case, but were not needed), one of the vacationers got leg injuries. Basically, everyone swam on the beach of the neighboring hotel (on the left behind the rental) - there the bottom is flat and there are no stones at all. There was enough space on the sun loungers, as I woke up very early and went to the beach at 6:20. After 10 in the morning, only sunbeds and umbrellas further from the water remained free. 3 days before departure, an announcement appeared banning the reservation of sun loungers, otherwise, according to the old Russian tradition, many people left things on sunbeds and disappeared for the whole day in a bar or room, which is not very good for the rest.
The water was clean enough for the first week, after 8 days the surf began to throw sea grass, cigarette butts, bags, cups onto the beach - a lot of garbage was on the beach tables and sand in the morning. I saw the cleaning of the grass from the beach once, the cleaning on the tables under the umbrellas and on the beach was almost daily.
Local vacationers were very surprised - even more visiting Russians littered the beach. Cigarette butts - I'll put out on a deck chair, bones from fruits - I'll throw next to me, I'll throw cups on the sand. Such an attitude, of course, upset.
The hotel itself is very well located - 10 minutes walk to the main street with shops. Before the Antique Side, the whole family walked on foot - about 4 kilometers one way (35-45 minutes at a normal pace) to the left along the promenade. By the way, the promenade itself is only for walking, as a lot of people walk in the evenings.
The hotel guide Emin was very disappointing. With such an attitude towards work and guests, it is better for him to look for another field of activity. I will not describe the details.
The main disadvantage of the hotel is the lack of air conditioning in the restaurant and lobby (! ), draft for a normal microclimate is not enough, especially if there is none. . .
The departure was scheduled for 21:05 (in the end, they left at 23:00), the bus picked us up at 15:40, and since check-out was at 12:00, we had to extend the room until 16:00 for $ 30, it’s good that such option was successful.
This is our first trip to Turkey, and we liked this holiday.
If you have any questions or need clarification - I will be happy to answer!
